Bentos and Other things =)

The reason i haven't had more bento postings lately is because Monday and Tuesday i didn't need to take a lunch with me lol i slept in late Monday and didn't go anywhere, of course i slept in until time to go to school Tuesday so i didn't have lunch anyway so wed lunch is basically Monday of last weeks lunch which is completely fine because that chicken was soooo yummy =). but more to come next week going to try some different things maybe do little sandwiches haven't decided, but on another note yesterday was the best day ever i have had this feeling of wanting to teach an art journaling class for the longest time Ive been so inspired and its hard to talk about it to others and they have no idea what I'm talking about it soo i talked to my pastor if i could use the church building once a week or every other week one night and teach and art journaling class and yesterday when i asked him and showed him what i was talking about it he said i totally could but of course keep in mind where I'm at which is so easy to do! well now I'm super excited! project art journaling 101 is now going full speed ahead!

Project Bento Day 2+3

I am combining day two and three for one big reason because what i had for lunch on Tuesday was the same as today felt quite lazy on Tuesday and today ugh for early mornings lol.
the red bento is mine since mom has laid claim to the blue one haha but this is what it looks like all packaged up in case you were wondering.

on the menu was a crab carrot and cucumber and romaine lettuce salad and in the little bird sauce bottle of balsamic vinaigrette its really good after its been sitting in the fridge for a day. i used intimation crab because its cheaper and i like the taste of it this was the bottom tier

on the top tier as you can see was filled with nothing but fruit i was feeling the need to eat a lot of fruit these days so it has apples and oranges and grapes the only difference between Tuesday and wed is today i stuck a half of a little heart cake mom got me for vday in it i needed something sweet! but onto the next day trying to figure out what we are having next week and possibly Friday if i have to go early in the morning im thinking left over shrimp and rice lol

First Day Project Bento!



Today marks the first day me and mom are trying out bentos for our lunch and lets just say it was pretty epic!! i am so full who knew small portions could fill you up i think this is going to work great towards my weight loss more veggies less fats and Ive promised myself I'm going to do my wii fit an hour each day starting today! I'm sure you would love to see what we had on the menu for today since it was our first day we went really simple. simple yet oh so yummy.

On the first tier we had Chicken Kara-age i think is the name of it lol, and rice and yummy savory cheese muffins.

on the bottom tier we had cucumbers shaped like flowers and some balsamic vinaigrette and some grapes for dessert.

the portions look small but it was so yummy i packed some extra chicken and rice because well its our first time doing this i wasn't sure how much it fill us up lets just say we had some leftovers =) cant wait for tomorrow I'm thinking shrimp are on the menu!
